HiphAthon
HIPHVERSE™ Presents
HiphAthon
HiphAthon is a creator-first build sprint for people shaping the future of music, media, technology, and ownership. Artists, founders, students, builders, designers, developers, strategists, sponsors, and community partners come together to learn the new tools, solve real problems, and turn ideas into demos.
What HiphAthon does
HiphAthon makes fast-changing technology easier to understand and easier to use. The program explains AI, Web3, digital identity, intellectual property, creator commerce, fan communities, wallets, and ownership in plain language, then gives participants a chance to build around those ideas.
This is not a lecture-only event and it is not only for coders. Teams can build prototypes, campaigns, workflows, media ideas, business models, community experiences, or product concepts that creators and communities can understand, test, and use.
Who should participate
Founders and builders
Startup founders, product teams, developers, designers, data builders, no-code creators, and AI builders looking to solve problems at the intersection of culture and technology.
Sponsors and partners
